… is a groove track, apparently. Great to play and perform live. It is dedicated to Andy Narramore, a childhood friend who hit puberty long before I did and developed a dogged interest in girls (plural) while I was still obsessed with fishing and football. When I saw him in the park one day with yet another girl, not even a catholic and from across the river, something snapped (like a camera shutter) and I realised what had happened to him and what was happening inside me.

lyrics

Saw you walking with another girl,
From another part of town.

Saw you walking with another girl
From another part of town.

You were a man with no illusions,
Rarely taken in,
By the scent of perfume on your fingers,
Or other things that linger.

There was a time we walked together
Round and round the lake.
Past the couples in the long grass,
Tongues flickering like snakes.

Saw you walking with another girl,
From another part of town.

(Things are hectic)

Saw you walking with another girl
From another part of town.

Now I hear that you have fallen down,
The word has gone around.
And the girl that you are living with
Is from another part of town.
